Nah I know he was good individually long before then but you have to be on a good team and do that in order to have anything close to faker status and he didn't until last year
I don't think it's really possible to do, in valorant, what faker did in lol. It's not just about the amount of trophies or the dominance over the years, Faker develloped techs and innovated w his mechanics, which I don't think is really possible in valorant
